iPhones are not the main target of hackers who develop viruses and malware for mobile terminals, but they are one of the main targets of information services because of the security implemented by Apple. In this idea, the well-known Edward Snowden stated that for years the CIA concentrated its resources to constantly exploit Apple's iPhones. According to former NSA collaborator, CIA researchers would be created a special version of XCode that implements backdoor software in applications published in the App Store.
CIA researchers have worked for nearly a decade to break the security protecting Apple phones and tablets. The report cites top-secret US documents that suggest US government researchers had created a version of XCode, Apple's software application development tool, to create surveillance backdoors into programs distributed on Apple's App Store.
According to the documents obtained by an American publication, the program carried out by the CIA was carried out between 2006 and 2013, so it was initiated before the launch of the first iPhone terminal. Even so, he continued until 2013 and probably beyond this time, but what the documents do not reveal is how successful the CIA was in exploiting the iDevices of users around the world. In order to realize their plans, those from the CIA were also helped by the British secret services, and the Android operating system was no exception to exploitation attempts.
Apple has always boasted of implementing strong security measures to give its customers the opportunity to store their data safely in their terminals. Despite this information, recently I have seen more and more evidence of the fact that various security agencies had or have the ability to exploit iDevices.
